Setting up workflow with OA2

Hi, I'm just starting out with OA2 and was wondering if it's possible to create a multi-stage workflow using the standard Drupal workflow module? I've tried installing the workflow module and using it to set up a review process for a new node type, but the workflow options don't seem to be visible when editing a node. Is this expected behaviour when using the workflow module with OA2?

I don't know about the Workflow module, but Phase2 is working on plugin for Open Atrium 2.0 to add integration with the Workbench module which also does content editing workflow. Unfortunately, I don't know the timeline to public release. :-/

timelines

I saw the webinar where Mike Potter talked about upcoming products in 2014. Besides workbench integration, he mentioned social tools, rating of content, course management, and a custom dashboard. You said you didn't know the timeline, do you have any idea what order these would be worked on during the year?
The reason I ask is whether I should wait for some of these adds or if I should attempt to do them myself (I need social and ratings as soon as possible).
Thanks!

Workbench integration will be soon-ish and may be worth waiting for. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about the others. Mike Potter or Karen Borchert or someone else from Phase2 will need to join the discussion to give something more precise than that. :-/ Sorry I don't know more!

rbolger: contributions are always welcome, so I don't want to stop anybody from working on this. If you need social and ratings, I'd say go ahead. As dsnopek mentioned, workflow is coming sooner. But as I said in the webinar we don't have a specific timeline for individual features.

We will likely have a more detailed roadmap posted towards the end of February.

good to know

Hi all, thank you mpotter and everyone else at Phase2 for your good work. Would like to know if the 7x-2.15 OA version has included workflows?

We are working on integration

We are working on integration with the Workbench Moderation module. Right now it's in some sandboxes and on github and I'll be creating a module for Drupal soon. It will all be pulled together for next month's OA2 release (e.g. 2.16) so isn't part of 2.15.
